Question

The question text was not published separately; the title stands in for it.

In the Quran, I read that Allah said to his angles, "Anei Jaeilon fel Arz Khalifa". But, Allah created Adam in Paradise, Is the Earth "Arabic Arz" and Paradise the same?

Answer

There is no inconsistency between Allah creating Adam(A.S.) in Jannah and thereafter sending him to earth as His khalifa(vicegerant). The verse refers to the time after the creation of Adam (A.S.) in paradise.
